Xp question

Alkers · 2005-08-07 21:45:52

After a new build and installing Xp I've noticed the set-up is different than my other pc. When I press ctrl+alt+del instead of going to teh task manager a windows security window opens. This is quite annoying and a similar window also shows up after power up, different to the normal one with the pictures beside usernames…

There's an option in the User Account screen where you can specify to use the Normal XP login screen (i.e. where you just click on your username and then enter your password) or the more secure login screen where you have to enter your username, password etc. Just switch it back to the normal XP Login screen and this will solve your problem.
